It's not a missile base.

Active airfield.

Looks like a dried out submarine base
i thought seawater levels weer rising?

dook 9th May 2019 13:08

Any ideas where, or would you like clues ?

Some clearer shot from the submarines stikking out of the mud on the apron would be helpfull!

dook 9th May 2019 14:11

I'm afraid I don't have one of those. :rolleyes:

Looks like a multi-role base: a couple of QRA sheds, large aircraft (tanker or bomber?) on the apron, some weather shelters for smaller aircraft along the far side of the apron. USAF in a hot climate?

Yes Indeed.

Big clue - Operation Unified Protector.

kenparry 9th May 2019 14:42

In that case: Moron, Spain?

dook 9th May 2019 14:46

In that case most certainly Moron (not you).

Your throttle.

A few of my former airline colleagues did think it hilarious that an air force base was so named. I should add that none of that small band was ex military.

dook, thank you. Next challenge very soon.

A distinct change from the last:

Did Robin Hood take that photo ?

kenparry 9th May 2019 15:35

Not sure what you mean. I was holding the throttle, my wife had the camera.

dook 9th May 2019 16:05

I meant through the trees.

Were you in an aeroplane, or that Chippie ?

Old Warden ?

kenparry 9th May 2019 16:16

I was in that Chippie. Another shot:

dook, yes Old Warden.

You have control

dook 9th May 2019 16:21

I had a hunch it might have been the 70th anniversary and there are a few trees at Old Warden.

Standby please.

dook 9th May 2019 16:26

Cheers Ken.

A blast from the past.
